Well volume wasn't the question here (but yes, it's hard to beat anything Chinese or Indian w/o being global). As for literacy most illiterates should be able to use Swish. Nr 2 though is something that I think might be a rev

Interesting to hear, I've heard of Swish has been a bit on edge trying to upsell people on merchant accounts and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these reports go to the tax office. Still for those involved they wouldn't pr

Swish has 3 ways: 1: You follow a link on your phone that opens the app, you're prompted with the transaction sum and then sign with a code on the phone and done. 2: You scan a QR code (from sign or screen), opens a prompt in app for t

Don't confuse the check wielding Americans for the "west", for example Sweden/Norway/Finland has similar systems named Swish/Vipps/MobilePay (Phone number based with scannable QR codes,etc) that's tak

I think that first approach (Part of the name RyujinX from RyuJIT?) while not optimal did get them off the ground quickly, now with a bit of traction (people into the project since it actually functions) they can could easily find takers(or

Manager prematurely distrusting developers syndrome, WSL1 had serious MMAP issues that was delayed as "low-prio" that wasn't fixed until late in the cycle (probably long after the decision to go with WSL2 was taken). Once tho

Maybe they bookmarked to see if there'll appear fun stuff later, it's still pretty much in the gruntwork phase of adding definitions/loading/basic interpretation to Rust. (Not working on any official projects myself but

In theory you're right, in practice however the details of the JVM instruction set and the existing generics system throws wrenches into it. The JVM has instructions like iload, aload, dload,etc (integer, reference, double) to load val

Value types was in the CLR(_Common_ Language Runtime) from day one as the runtime supported (variations of) C/C++,etc. Iirc proper generics didn't appear in version 1 of C# but since the foundation was there generics could become

While fears of PE is quite well founded in many cases, EQT might be one group that might actually have proper long term interests. Ownership of EQT goes up to Investor and the Swedish Wallenberg family, they're the same people that amo

Win32 programming was more akin to the X-windows protocol/API and boy.. let me tell you that Win32 was kids play in comparison to the fragmented mess that is raw X-windows (It's not for nothing that KDE is/was built on QT and

There's a better way to get data out of Azure if you can handle a bit of manual scripting (way worth if for large tables). Setup linked-servers from your local server (via Server Objects / Linked servers), once you've done th

Not entirely correct, last I checked string interning was ONLY guaranteed for those strings defined in source and read in during class loading, strings created via the String constructor (f.ex. via StringBuilder) CAN duplicate those strings

Well that actually brings us to an interesting point, most platforms have fought with tooth and nails to retain carrier like status to avoid liability issues related to copyright infringement,etc but if they do that they should also be liab

Well you could do your entire data-model as an CRDT (even with single-server some semblance to an CRDT model can be beneficial but not as needed). The question then becomes: - Do you want a complicated data model based on CRDT's that w

Agreed, those were the roots. But this thread is a bit about tooling/distribution on win vs linux and the C64 and Amiga is more like Windows than Linux in that sense. If prods would've been open-sourced or compile for yourself you

Not to mention that it's only recently that Blender has become bearable, even if 3dsMAX,etc is ancient those kinds of tools were often used in the past and Linux was a kind of no-starter. Also since intros were size-limited you kinda n

I'm not gonna say you're wrong in your experiences, because there's much damnning about how people have behaved, but it needs to be taken in stride and things have changed a bit. The demoscene always did sit in a weird inters

There are tons of annotations over the hood. The "this" that GP mentions is for for extension methods similar to the article to be regcognizeed as such (never done if the annotation isn't present), they're written such a

You have some points but this scenario is also an industry symptom of what sloppy and/or inexperienced developers cause. As an experienced developer being in this environment you have to be humble to the fact that money is still what r

We use OpenAPI/Swagger specs whenever possible for new projects and integrations (some usages or integrations are older). Generating a OpenAPI/Swagger spec in .NET is as easy as telling a lib like NSwag to generate and publish doc
